Product Design Trip

Two groups of Upper Sixth A-level Product Design students recently visited MPM Ltd in Bramley, Leeds, for an insightful factory tour. MPM (Moulds, Patterns and Models) Ltd is a glass reinforced plastic manufacturer.

The trip provided students with a valuable opportunity to see lean manufacturing principles in action and explore the complexities of project management systems and composite materials. Students were guided through various stages of production and they were able to connect their classroom theories with real-world applications, deepening their understanding of the industry. The experience was a vital part of their learning, offering a first-hand look at the innovative processes and technologies that shape the product design field.
